The Cultivation OEEE0Ds.

Hops will grow on any soil that
produces good crops OF wheat and
corn bnt require heavy manuring
and b%arnyard dag. First spread it
beautifully and pillow it in, and then a
top dressing will answer every
third year covered and worked in
by a c%ultivator. Put a forkfull or
each hill in the fall, as a winter
protection. Set the vines from six
to seven feet apart. in rows both
ways, SO as to cultivate each way,
, and when this is done early ia the
season, and we'll done, it is not much
labor to keep the vines free from
weeds. Poles should he used for tie
hops to run on, as the short stake
and cord system is not a good one;
as tho vines do not produce as large
crops on this system as when they
run up poles. But the poles are ex.
pensiyc =; from Is to $40 a hundred.
rs feet long at least, and from 500
TO 900 arc required for an acre. The
hop-growcrs of Central New York
use cedar poles wholly. In the fall
they are raised when the hops are
picked, stacked up in a neat work
manlike manner, some 30 or 40 in a
stack, with the extreme upper ends
so interlocked that no winds can
blow them down. There is a science
in stacking hop poles that no man
can master at first sight. Tt takes
three years to get q hop plantation
in full bearing; but there is more
money made in that than in other
farm crops. Farmers who grow
hops are getting to be wealthy very
fast, the net profits being 5000 to
$500 per acre in most cases.

There are many advantages in
diversified crops. 1t is better for
the land not to continue one kind of
crop on i; for an indefinite time. It
is easier handling a hundred acres
IN different crops than if all is in one
Kind. A few acres in one crop will
demand attention at one time, and
is soon taken care OF, and then an
other N is ready. When a farmer
IS growing different crops he runs
less risk, for if one is not successful
others may be. For the foregoing
and other reasons, VIC would urge

ANOTHER CAPTURED FLAG.

1t transpires that the flag record OF
General Lucius Fairchild, of three
palsy notoriety, is not of the cleanest.
According to a Paris correspondent,
the palsier has decided hankering for
good flags. This correspondent says
that at the close of the Paris exposition
in 1878 Fairchild, who was then United
States consul-genersl, sent two mag
nifcent American flags to the French
government. The government there
upon gracefully presented one of the
flags to the American Legation and
the other to the United States consulate.
Last Fourth of July, Major Rsthbone,
the new consul-general, was Disguised
and surprised at seeing dirty, ragged
old flag flying from the building in
honor of the day. He instituted an in
quiry and learned that when Fairchild
left he packed up and brought with
him the handsome new banner which
the French government had generously
presented to the United States consul
ate. We presume the loyal and patriotic
general would palsy the hand that
would attempt to carry that flag back
to the American consulate at Paris.

AT LAST.

There was nothing in the experience
of the wretch Hopt, who suffered an ig-
nominious death yesterday at the hands
of the public executioner, to inspire
hope of escaping punishment in the
heart of the murderer. From the mo-
ment the fellow perpetrated the awful
crime, seven years ago, he has been
pursued by never-sleeping justice. No
minute since that bloody deed was the
criminal free. During few days he
was at large, but justice Was on his
track and in hot pursuit, and from the
instant the law laid its clutches on the
fend he was doomed to the fate which
has finally oVertaken him. That ne
was able to beat back the nemesis for
seven long years, will not be encourag-
ing to others contemplating murder.
1t will rather have tendency to dis
hearten them. in that it will show how
futile are efforts to escape the avenger.
Able lawyers, working faithfully and
intelligently, and taking advantage of
every circumstance and Ioop-hole in the
law, could not bring him relief. 1t has
frequently been urged that the long
delay in this case would lessen the fear |
of execution in the minds of others,
and that deliberate murder would be |
committed with less hesitancy. We
certainly think otherwise. Hopt's |
death was more terrible to him on
Thursday than it would have been a |
week or a month after his bloody work |
of seven years ago. These years were
made up of minutes, hours and days of |
dread and torture. They were years of
vain hope, to be terminated in the aw-
full climax recorded elsewhere. The
evil minded, familiar with the case,
will hesitate long before doing deliberate
and Willful murder with the expectation
of finally defeating justice and cheating
the e1ecutioner. -.
The theory of the law authorizing
capital punishment is that the fate of
the criminal will exercise a deterrent |
effect on the wickedly disposed if this
theory be correct, society will derive |
the full benefit in this case, notWith-
standing the long and Yexatious delay
in the execution of Fred Hopt.

Painless Regulation.

1t is no longer a question of doubt
although the contrary was once be
ieyed-that medicines which produce
than desperate emergencies. In other
words, that super-potent remedies are
calculated to weaken and iniure the
system rather than reform its irreeie
iaritieS. Among medicines of debiIi-
tating effect are cathartics and ch0Ia
gogues which copiously and abrnntIv
eVacuate the bowels Because il does
not do this, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is preferable to the drenching
class OF purgadTes. Painless in It's
effects, it is sufficiently active TO remedy

ting the intestines, and enables not
forces, them by nature. Promoting
the secretion of bile in normal quaint
nes by Its BEAUTIFULLY stimulating effect
upon the liver, it is eminently conduc-

small degree to keep the bowels regular.

ner had in the wagon, was subse-
uuently found covered with blood in
one of the wagons; that the A tent,
which had apparently been wrapped
around the body after the killing, was
covered with blood; that at the place
where Turner camped, near Park City,
were found certain articles of his IN
derwear which indicated that the kill.
ing had taken. place there and the
body carried to Echo; that when Hopt
arrived st Green River, he commenced
drinking heavily, and Immediately be-
gan to talk Of killing people: that he
admitted he had killed one man and
then denied it by saying: "Oh, no, I
didn't, was only joking" He puf-
sued his way from Green River along
the line of the Union Pacific, squander-
ing the money received from the sale
OF Turner's effects, as he went along.
When he reached Cheyenne, he was
arrested, having been closely followed
by Sheriff Turner. After his arrest. he
was visited by friend and to this friend
he confessed the deed.
This trial occupied until Saturday,
March II, when verdict Of guilty was
rendered.
On motion of attorneys for the de-
tense, the defendant was allowed until
April LIST, TO prepare and file state
ment on motion for a new trial.
The motion was overruled by the
court, and the defendant on being ar
raigned for sentence before Judge
Hunter, said he had nothing to
say. except that he was inno-
cent of the crime. On being
informed that the law allowed him to
choose the method by which he should
die, Hopt said: ~ have been talking
with the Marshal, and had not fully
decided; but now I will say prefer to
be hanged"
Judge Hunter named Friday, June
1st, as the day of execution, and the
condemned man was taken back to the
Pen. where he was placed in solitary
confinement.
Afterwards the case was appealed to
the Supreme Court of the United
States, which, on account of errors in
the court below, granted the defen-
dant a new trial.

TO PARK CITY.

1t has not been definitely deter
mined, we believe, that the Midland
Railway will not touch Park City, but
the conviction is growing that the line
will run down Provo Canyon, and come
to Salt Lake by paralIeling the Utah
Central and D. & r. G. W. The en-
gineers seem disposed to favor that
route on the score OF economy, and also
because of a saving of time. If this
popular impression is correct, would it
not be wise for our merchants and cap
italists to consider carefully and in
diligently the propriety of combining
their strength and effort and building
railway direct from Salt Lake to Park
City? 1t Wills be remembered that
Charles Francis Adams, in his testi-
mony before the Congressional Com
mission at its session in Boston
said the Park City was one of the most
profitable branches of the Union Pa
ciic. No one will question this state
ment who sees the well laden freight
trains, and full passenger trains going
over the line daily. The Union Pacific
line between Salt Lake and Park City
is, We believe, one hundred and five
miles in length. A road direct, via
Parley's canyon and the Park would be
between thirty and thirty-five miles
long, or just about one-third the length
of that of the Union Pacific. The
grade would be no heavier than the
Union Pacific has TO contend with. II
8 road one hundred and FIVE miles
long can be operated at a profit
on Park City business, there shouId
be big money in line only thirty-fve
miles in length. A road direct to the
Park would naturally and necessarily
bring all the trade Of that thriving and
steadily growing burg and district to
Salt Lake, whereas to-day Ogden gets
perhaps a third Of that trade. 1t w0uld
be worth good deal TO our merchants
TO hold the business of Park CITY. and
as that business is increasing all the
time an effort should be made to hiring
it here.
A railway to the Park would be in no
sense q venture; there could be NOTHING
of risk about it. The camp is perma-
nent. if there is any permanencv 10
silver mines. Some of the rich.
est Lodges on the continent are
there; they have been steadily
productive for fifteen years, and TO-DAY
present fewer indications OF "pinching
out" than they did ten years ago
There is every reason 10 believe thar
hfty years hence the Park viii be pro.
ducing more silver and employing more
men than to-day. Now, the camp. with
its thousands OF busy people, is kept up |

THE THIRD TRIAL.

The matter came up again in the Dis
riot Court, before Judge Hunter, on
April 10Th, 1884, in pursuance of the &C
ton of the Supreme Court as given
above, and this time q few hours vas
all the time consumed in obtaining the
twelve men necessary to constitute q
jury. The principal feature of the trial
was that Jack Emerson was allowed to
testify, and he said he did not see the
dead body of young Turner until he
and Hopt buried it in Echo Canyon.
This trial was concluded on May 9th,
and the jury were out less than two
hours, when they returned the verdict
which had been given twice before
Guilty of murder in the first degree"
May 10th was named as the time for
passing sentence. On being asked the
regulation question, Hopt replied, "All
1 have to say is, am innocent;" and
being again Informed that the law al
lowed him to choose the method OF
execution, replied: II prefer to be
shot," and Friday, June 18th, 1884, was
named as the fatal day.
Application was made soon after
wards to the District Court for an or
der staying the execution. This was
refused, and an appeal was taken to
the Supreme Court of the Territory,
which sustained the court below in re-
using to grant stay of execution,
but recommended unanimously that the
Governor grant reprieve. There was
considerable indignation at the manner
in which the Supreme Court had wrig-
gled out of the responsibility of grant
ing a stay of execution, and throwing
the load of responsibility upon the
shoulders of Acting Governor Thomas,
Governor Murray being absent from the
Territory. On the 18th, of June, the day
set for the execution, the protests
against any executive interference in
the matter we're very strong. All who
were in Salt Lake at that time will
the excitement on Main
Street, and the loud and threatening
language used. They will also remem-
Der the mass meeting called to assemble
at the Opera House to protest against
any further delay of the law under any
pretext or circumstances. Colonel
sells presided and speeches were made
by Arthur Brown, Alfales Young, Sher-
if Turner. S. A. Kenner, A. o. Smoot,
s, r. Thurman and Ben Shr eks, some
demanding that the execution be pro-
ceeded with and others counseling the
adoption Of whatever line of policy the
executive might pursue. A reso-
luton was adopted protesting
in strong terms against any fur
Their delay, and a committee appointed
to present it to Acting Governor
Thomas. Some time later, 8 reply was
received from Mr.. Thomas granting a
reprieve until such time as the writ of
error might be heard by the Supreme
Court.
On April 20, 1885, the case was
reversed by the Supreme Court of the
United States, and remanded back to
he Territorial courts for a new trisI.
